The Langham bets big on its suites.

The Infinity Suite is already one of London's most expensive and hi-tech luxury suites

To experience luxurious grandeur in the heart of one of the world’s most desirable capital cities, the Langham London – owned by Langham Hotels International – has long been one of the most sought-after addresses.

But keen to avoid resting on its laurels, the company is set to make several million pounds worth of improvements to its flagship London hotel.

The Langham has already seen £80 million pumped into an extensive refurbishment in recent years. It is now seeking to consolidate its position as one of Europe’s premier hotels by upgrading its suites.

As well as upgrading the hotel’s 25 existing suites, LHI have enlisted interior design experts Richmond International to design a new presidential suite to complement the hotel’s flagship Infinity Suite.

The Infinity Suite was opened in 2005 and already featured here as one of London’s 4 most expensive rooms. It is popular among the well-heeled and celebrities, boasting an imposing 235 square meters of floor space.

The new Regent Suite is almost as large at 166 square metres and consists of two bedrooms – each with their own private sitting rooms – along with a third room which can be used as a boardroom.

The suite will also offer the services of a dedicated butler, naturally – as well as a fully-stocked bar and optional extras like a private chauffeur.

Overlooking Portland place from a vantage point above the hotel’s grand entrance, the Regent Suite is expected to open shortly, with a princely price tag of over £5000 per night. Only the mega-rich need apply to stay there!

It will be absolutely fascinating to see which of London’s luxury hospitality standard bearers will add enough value to thrive in an increasingly competitive environment while continuing to justify expensive room rates.
